The flight path crosses the Appalachian foothills of Georgia and the Carolinas (visible as rolling terrain with river valleys), then transitions into the flatter coastal plains of the Carolinas and Virginia. Major rivers including the Savannah, Pee Dee, and Neuse are visible as dark linear features. The Atlantic coastline becomes prominent as the aircraft approaches the Northeast, with the Outer Banks of North Carolina visible during the northern portion of the flight. The landscape transitions from subtropical to temperate forest as the aircraft moves northeast.
